♦ Read through this guide before attempting to use
your new dishwasher.
♦ Read the “Washing Special Items” section before
washing any porcelain or china that has “on-glaze”
decoration, crystal glassware, or items of wood or
plastic.
♦ Make sure the door is properly balanced. To do this,
open it a little and release it. It should stay where you
released it. If it doesn’t, consult the Installation
Instructions or contact your installer.
♦ Call your local water company to learn the water
hardness in your area. You’ll need to know this to
determine how much detergent and rinse aid to use.
This manual does not cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. Common sense and caution
should always be used when installing, operating, and
maintaining any appliance.
♦ Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
♦ Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read
the Installation Instructions for details.
♦ Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
♦ Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the
home.
♦ Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and
rinse agents.
♦ To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
♦ Do not load sharp items near the door; you could
damage the door seal.
♦ Place sharp knives in the silverware basket with the
sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type injuries.
♦ Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For items not
marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Items not dishwasher safe could become deformed
or melt and create a potential fire hazard.
♦ Do not touch the heating element during or imediately
after use.
♦ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure

♦ Do not tamper with controls by removing or changing.
♦ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher
door or baskets .
♦ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on a dishwasher.
♦ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for two weeks, before using the dishwasher
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
♦ When removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
♦ Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline,
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
♦ Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
♦ Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

The silverware basket is designed with eight compartments to
help keep the silverware separated. Load silverware with the
handles downwards and spread it out as much as possible to
avoid nesting. For safety, load sharp knives with the handles
up.
Avoid placing silverware made of different materials (e.g., silver
and stainless) in the same compartment because of the risk
of discoloration. (See page 14.)
Small Items Containment Lid
The silverware basket has a lid in the middle that snaps down
over the compartments to its left or right to contain small,
lightweight items that might slip through the rack tines or get
washed out of the basket. The small items lid is slotted, so
you also could use it to keep silverware separated, such as
teaspoons.
When loading silverware, try to
avoid nesting the spoons and forks.

After you have scraped off the large food particles, place
glasses, cups, saucers, bowls and small plates in the upper
basket, as illustrated.
Load stemware with the stem fitted inside one of the grooved
tines on the stemware rack.
The fold-down cup shelf on the right side of the basket gives
you an additional place to stack cups and small bowls. You
can also stack items on the stemware rack.
This model has a knife stop on the front of the upper basket.
This gives you a safe place to load long utensils and knives
that won’t fit in the silverware basket. The knife stop prevents
knives or utensils from damaging the door when you open
and close it.
NOTE: When loading sharp items, always be careful not to
cut the rack coating.

Your new dishwasher features ASKO’s Self Cleaning
System™. This means that after prewash, mainwash
and intermediate rinse the water is drained out and the
cycle continues with clean water.
If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it’s not
necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need
to scrape off the large particles of food before loading.
Load larger items in the lower basket, such as, dinner plates,
pots and pans, serving dishes, and casseroles. Be sure to
load dishware facing downward or toward the center of the
dishwasher.

The amount of detergent needed varies based on water hardness. Refer to the chart on page 5 for recommended detergent amounts.
Check the rinse aid dispenser and ensure it is filled. Adjust the rinse aid dispenser setting if needed.
Remove the coarse filter, unscrew the fine filter and lift it and the main filter out. Wash all three filters gently in hot, soapy water and rinse them thoroughly. Be sure to replace the filters before running the dishwasher.
